WESTHAM ROAD IN THE 1950S

This picture shows “Fortes Corner” as it was known to past generations of Weymouthians from a different angle.

Prominent is Jeffery’s Dairy advertising high class dairy produce, and next is The Vogue clothiers.

In Great George Street can be seen the back entrance of Howley’s which pre war sold cars as well as being a toy shop.

To complete the picture, in Westham Road is a rather stylish pre war Rover car, often associated with doctors or solicitors.
